Tactile Mobility’s technology lets cars “feel” the road by gathering real-time data from non-visual sensors, turning it into actionable information.
Porsche will incorporate technology from the Haifa-based startup in future vehicles, the companies announced at the eighth annual EcoMotion Conference.
Tactile CEO Amit Nisenbaum said, “We are very proud to announce that we will embed our software in Porsche vehicles in order to make them smarter, more enjoyable to drive and safer to drive”.
Tactile Mobility’s technology can analyse data from a car’s sensors and use artificial intelligence to improve the vehicle’s performance. The real-time data provides actionable information such as road quality and tire traction. Porsche does not plan to use the technology to create a self-driving car, but rather to serve as an aid to drivers.
